Ethakka Appam (Plantain Fritters)

This is a regular in every Kerala household. On my recent vacation, I had ethakka appam from almost every house I visited and everybody had different ingredients for batter…..but all were yummy.
Recently I saw a food show on TV and the highlight of one small shop was that they sold only ethakka appam….and the batter was made only with urad dal paste as batter. I have yet to try that.
The below 2 batters will give crispy results. The ethakka should not be too ripe as the crust will become soggy in a while;
